Abstract :
In this paper, theories about fuzzy concepts in human biology will be discussed. We will start with some remarks on Ludwik Fleck\´s "medical way of thinking". Then we consider Kazem Sadegh-Zadehs theory about fuzzy health and fuzzy illness, make a detour to Bart Kosko\´s Fuzzy Hypercube and then we\´ll continue with fuzzy-theoretical approaches about genes.
